EDMOND — Bureau encourages mail-back of census questionnaires saves taxpayer dollars
The 2010 Census is well under way, with the U.S. Census Bureau mailing 2010 Census questionnaires to about 120 million addresses nationwide. The questionnaires will arrive March 15-17. Residents are encouraged to complete the 10-question census form when it arrives and to return it in the accompanying pre-paid envelope as soon as possible.
Your answers to the 2010 Census are kept confidential and protected by federal law. Every Census Bureau employee must take an oath and is subject to 5 years in prison or a $250,000 fine or both if they disclose any information that could identify you or your household. Your information is only used for statistical purposes.
The 2010 Census is an actual count of everyone living in the United States and it is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Census data is used to allocate congressional seats to the states and to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to tribal, state and local governments each year.
